I've had quite a ride when it comes to "career", in last 16 months after graduation I have indulged myself in many different kind of workplaces. I often reconnect with people after few months to tell them I am not doing what I was doing when we last spoke, its quite tiring to explain them but I guess they will keep up with me. I've been part of couple of start ups and a corporate in the gone time, Its been exciting from the professional point of view but has been an eye opener about my own self. With reason and internet as my tools I found out that I was in ever exploring mode, I soon realized that the workplaces are means to an end, with the knowledge that with my nature I might not even recognize the end.

My last job was at a corporate where I was leading a team of 4-5 developers for a intel project, it involved architectural work with managerial skills, I happily accepted the job as it was the next logical thing after working in seclude on a great product at sysomos. I wanted to work with people, I wanted to understand them and more so I wanted to test this theory that team can work and progress powered with individual capability. My results of the experiment were satisfactory though I never got them validated from my team (I really should) I think their image of me is more like a cuckoo boy. After 10 months of fun and self exploration I got fed up and decided to quit the very well paying job, it has served its purpose to give me that experience of working with people. Often I asked myself whats next? I have considered opening a coffee shop with large displays playing youtube videos and running real time twitter alerts, I have dreamt of teaching as a profession to which many who know me advice against. It was too much experience in little time but I knew I had to move on. Then there was this internet boy dream of becoming next google in the background, again for the process and not the end. I also realized its not the type of work I am running from but from the settings and constraints of it.

So with some references in hand and quest to explore more about internet I decided to bring the background process to surface, all my thoughts about what I wanna build and more importantly how came flashing and staring up felt like the next logical step. QED42 is the name of the journey I am on right now and I have my "plans" to do it right with fun and learning as the parameters, I am not aiming to be next google, I am just aiming to run this long before I pause to ask whats next?

Reality note: QED42 is not working on any product or prototype as yet but things are in pipeline, after many discussions and reality check I have decided we will do some niche consultancy to raise money and to find right set of people. We are currently filtering 3-4 product ideas and have kept personal deadline of 6 months, when we concentrate ourselves on internet products.

Update: We are open for business and are located at http://www.qed42.com come by and see if you like something.
